  • Glad I was able to provide some help
  • Hi, I use Addon Linker for everything that goes into the Community folder. For any new MSFS update or beta, I use AddOn Linker to 'remove' everything from the Community folder, and start up MSFS to ensure the new/beta starts with a clean slate. (I have a preset called -NONE which turns off every addon in Community). After…
  • Hi, sorry its taken so long to respond. I installed the MSFS beta, only to find GIT wont work with this beta, so therefore I had to roll back. Ive had MAJOR problems trying to roll back, fighting with the XBOX App installer and MSFS :-( Anyway Im back to normal, so Ill be able to open up GIT in the FBW aircraft to quote my…
  • Ill have a look at my GIT Bespoke programming to see what Ive done for this control
  • Hi, I started working on a config for the FBW. But, its a big job, and takes a lot of time detecting/checking/testing/repeat. What I do generally is write a Bespoke event that checks the state of a variable and based on its value, take appropriate action based on current value, and I include TOGGLE as part of the event…

  • This is fantastic news, many thanks! Would it be possible in the MSFS version to keep (and not disable) Detective button when PMDG 737 is detected? Sometimes its handy to use and write very custom bespoke events for combinations that might not be covered with the in-built configs that GIT provides for PMDG aircraft.…
  • Hi Ray, I'm not sure if you have written any existing bespoke events yet for your PC12. If you have, I would suggest making a backup of your GoFlight Interface Tool directory in your DOCUMENTS folder first, as I'm not sure if the import process to load my code will overwrite any existing bespoke events, or just add to…
  • Hi Ray, I can write for you a bespoke event so that you can read the value directly and display via a GF LED. Ill write it up in the next 24 hours and describe it here. Regards David
  • Further investigation... Luckily most of the more simple gauges for this aircraft are written in XML which means that I can look at what drives some of the indicator lights. It DOES appear that its reading an EXIT value for the doors, but for some reason, they are not translating/displaying in GIT as EXIT_OPEN1 or…
  • Hi Roberto, That info is fantastic, and exactly what I was after. Regarding labels, Ive been trying to think of a fast efficient way to label all the controls, but at the same time, make it very easy to switch/replace in 1 go per panel, instead of having to replace each label one button at a time. Ive got some ideas but I…
  • I dont think tracking the exit status of door 1 or door 2 in the PC12 is possible. I bought this aircraft a long time ago, but because the way I have set up my cockpit, I was never able to use this aircraft (I need 2D instrument panels). As such Ive never bothered to reinstall whenever Ive needed to to a clean install of…
  • I'm running P3Dv5 and just installed the new release of PMDG 747 (for v5) and Im also experiencing issues with EFIS and MCP PRO. With MCP PRO, the values in the sim readout, and values displayed in MCP PRO are different, and some of the rotaries appear to be changing the wrong functions. My EFIS also seems to have issues…
  • Ray, I have got the WideClient set up and working to get around the FSUIPC 64 bit limitation. I would be happy to help you setting this up if you encounter any problems. Regards David
  • Hi, I bought myself a Razer Tartaru keypad, which showed up in GIT under the joystick category (for its keys). I used GIT to initiate not only the appropriately mapped ATC calls with each numbered key on the pad, but also to bring up other utils, such as GSX, ActiveSky weather, ProATCX interface, SODE interface with the…
  • Hi, I'm back now as well. As you may or may not know, the knobs on the Airbus MCP have three operations - rotate, push and pull. The display will generally show some digits, or a dot, depending on what mode its in (triggered by you pushing or pulling the knobs). Therefore for you to simulate these operations, for each…
  • Thanks Steve, so my next question is going to seem a bit strange, but there is a reason for it. What if the 'Client PC' was actually running P3D as well as the 'Server PC' running P3D. If the 'Client PC' had GIT running on it, but the LUA port configuration was actually pointing to the IP address of the Server PC, would…
  • Hi Androl2015, I havent written any GIT code for the Aerosoft Airbus, but I have written it for another company's 'pre-release' Airbus product. Im using the MCP Pro, and the logic and code to try to get the MCPPro to behave like the Airbus FCU was not easy. Given that the MCP has less buttons on it compared to the MCPPro…
  • Hi Steve The reason I was thinking about being able to pass a value via the LUA script was to try to minimize the number of individual LUA scripts, as at the moment I need to write a separate LUA file for every GF button/switch that I want to trigger LUA. If I was able to pass a value I could set this value to a different…
  • Im definitely having issues with GSX and GIT. Ive loaded up the new Aerosoft Airbus, and at a default gate, Ive invoked GSX to deboard, to ensure its actually running. I've then started GIT, and gone into DETECTIVE. Ive searched for any LVARs starting with FSDT, it its finding no LVars to match. I've then started up…
  • Hi Steve, I was able to get this working via the link above. Thanks
  • Oh no - that's put a REAL spanner in the works.... I am licensed for WideFS, which I see mentioned might work, although I'm not sure what I would have to install where, and configure how, to get WideFS Client to support your GITLUA script. I can assist and try it out, if you can make some sense of what's being discussed in…
  • File ipcinit.lua is in the modules directory, together with FSUIPC. It does contain the line ipc.runlua("gitlua"); (only quotes around gitlua) The modules directory does also contain the file gitlua.lua fsuipc5.ini also contains a section called [LuaFiles] with 4 lines underneath, numbered1-4, with gitlua being listed…
  • Hi, Some further debugging has shown that if I remove the ReadMemSB call, then START loop works without breaking/stopping. The GIT log shows this entry on start of GIT, which I'm not sure if this is relevant or not: FSUIPC: Connection Failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it…
  • I have tried each one individually and they seem to work. Could it be that one of the commands Im using in one of the START-* functions is failing, and therefore stops the START routine from being able to loop? In one of the START- functions, Im using a ReadMemSB call BES-TXPDR-MODE-C = ReadMemSB(7b91) Does ReadMemSB work…
  • You need to use the 'Bes Vars' list to store a value to a Bespoke Variable (named 0 through to 99). You are not able to name or rename these bespoke variables. You will need to keep your own documentation as to which 'Bes Var' you have used and its purpose. Ive made a suggestion for future versions of GIT to allow us to…
  • Hi Steve, I dont have any PMDG aircraft yet, but I do write my code in a similar fashion as discussed by Rob. I create BEvs for each switch or button in an aircraft. If there are multiple switches or buttons for a similar activity (Left Landing Lights, Centre Landing Lights, Right Landing Lights), I create a BEv for each.…
  • Hi, I have not had any success in getting any buttons or knobs in any of the FSLabs A320 to work in GIT. Supposedly someone on the FSLabs forum reckons he got the beacon light to turn on and off by setting FSUIPC custom control number 66587 with params 72477 (on) and 72476 (off). I think I did this correctly in GIT but it…
  • HI Steve, I came to the same conclusion, after experiencing a major issue with GIT (self inflicted). I managed to program my functions after an upgrade to GSX latest version. The LVARS were available every time I wanted to edit my code. This worked perfectly - I had added some code in my START macro to monitor the values…
  • HI Steve, That worked - many thanks.
